This place has a lot of potential to be great. It depends on the type of clientele you attract. Since you are in the downtown area, you attract people from San Pedro, Los Angeles and Orange County. Not always the greatest people you encounter but it attracts all types of people. Meaning Ghetto and Civilized people. Parking is horrible here on the weekends. Since it is catered mostly to the tourist that is visiting the aquarium of the pacific Weekdays are solid, you will find parking with no problem. Overall, I come here once in awhile pending on the event. Great place to watch a move or chill by the coast. Many restaurants nearby is a plus!

A small little outdoor shopping center right in the heart of downtown Long Beach. It's literally…read morenext door to the convention center, and across street from the waterfront and Aquarium Of The Pacific. Not sure what the purpose of the outlet name is for as I think the only outlet was Gap. I could be wrong with the other stores. With any retail area, things come and go so having a storefront survive is amazing. It's a nice outdoor shopping experience with dining options to add to it. There's a few sit down dining places but nothing overly fancy. You have more of the bigger chain restaurants right across the street along the water and Shoreline Village. There's a movie theatre, a comedy center and a couple of decent amount of shops. Nothing over the top but your local shops like HM, Nike, Guess, Gap Outlet and a few others. It is a nice place to walk around and just see Long Beach. You're literally close to the convention center which is right across the street. Aquarium and the park is also across the street which a bridge is also use to cross over. The Marina Park, Shoreline Village are all a couple minutes walk from the pike. It's a cute little outdoor shopping area but nothing major. There's plenty of parking in the structure with some street parking along the strip.

I first came to 2nd & PCH for a friend's birthday celebration at Barry's Boot Camp, but the area…read morehas become a favorite weekday getaway of mine. I love that they broadcast jazz classics like Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald over the speakers. I love the smell of the Pacific Ocean wafting through the nearby marina. And I especially love the view of sunsets over palm trees in the evenings - pure magic! Getting there: there's two parking lots, one on the Whole Foods side and one on the Urban Plates side; parking is free for the first 90 minutes. The landscaping and restroom areas are always well maintained and there is plentiful seating throughout the plaza. They post the schedule for various local events - pop up markets, line dancing, etc. - on the bulletins. Best of all, most are dog-friendly (my rescue dog Darby has several go-to spots he likes to sniff every time we come!) Paper Source, Lather, and Urban (both the clothing and the restaurant) are where you'll find me during most visits.

Stopped by this place for the first time after hearing about it from friends and family. I remember…read moreway back when, the spot used to house a hotel/motel where I didn't even know if it was even functioning. Now it's a cute little retail and restaurant center. You have Whole Foods on the corner and right inside the strip mall which is an open air somewhat small mall. There's parking structures on either end but when we stopped by the gate wasn't working so we ended up parking across the street. There's plenty of parking everywhere so you'll find something. It's not a big area but does offer some cute shops. You'll have some of the retail chain stores with Atletha, Warby Parker, Urban Outfitters, Brixton, Nike, Anthropologie to name a few. Some cute fun jewelry stores, stationary stores and so on. There's even a cute little brewery right in the middle of the strip. It's a cute place for family to bring the kids and pets. People are out enjoying the outdoor. As Easter is coming, there's going to be an Easter bunny on site. It's somewhat a very little outdoor mall. A few dining options surrounding the area. You could walk around the whole place in half an hour or so.

It's alway nice to stop by and enjoy a walk along the boardwalk. Early afternoon on a Wednesday…read morewhich was still pretty mellow. There was a good amount of people walking around but not like the crowds during the weekend. You have people walking around with their pets and others just enjoying the sunshine. Some of the stores weren't open when we arrived. They still have the arcade and carousel area that was open. Walking along the boardwalk and looking out to the waterfront and marina was very nostalgic. It used to be the usual weekend outing when I lived here. Catching up with friends, walking along the bike path and enjoying the waterfront. There's still a few of the old school restaurants that's been there for years. Tequila Jacks, Yard house and of course Parker's Lighthouse. Later on around 3pm the boardwalk did start to pick up as happy hours were happening. The good thing about this area, it's literally a couple minutes walk from the convention center so it's good for people when they're in town for some kind of convention. The crowds tends to be pretty mellow. Students, families and out of towners. A nice waterfront boardwalk with some cute shops and restaurants. There was a live bands performing in the middle which was nice to watch them playing some fun tunes. It's not extremely big but big enough to spend some time there. Plenty of parking in the paid lot. 2 hrs free with validation.

Shoreline Village on the Shoreline is one of a kind…read more Great views, great shopping, places to eat, stroll and take in the day or night time. A super hub and must in the city of Long Beach. Awesome events like the Shoreline Summer Concert Series that kick off around Memorial Day weekend and go strong until Labor Day weekend. With a solid variety throughout the season. Pirate's Cove, Istanbul Home, Saga clothing and a plethora of shops are worth exploring with cool gifts, souvenirs and fashions in stock. Wheel Fun Rentals has you covered on just about every kind of man-powered device in two to four wheel form, including tandem bicycles. Eat at Yard House, Shenanigan's (Irish Pub), Parkers' Lighthouse and Gilan's Pizza to name a few. Grab a treat at Funnel House, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Exotic Jerky (where they do care some vegan jerky varieties ). Parking is pretty easy though not complimentary. It's about $2 for two hours and a max of $16 for the day. You can get up to $10 off with validation from various Shoreline Village businesses.

Close to CSULB and just a few minutes from the 405, it's quite convenient. Trader Joe's, Post Office, Target, Starbucks, Chronic Tacos, Rite Aid, Golden Spoon, and so much more. A couple of banks, fast food, dine in restaurants... a little bit of everything! Pro tip for Trader Joe's- park on the other side of the store. There are two entrances!

I'm so old I remember when The Broadway was an anchor store here. It's changed a great deal over…read morethe years, but Sears remains. Go figure. There is an eclectic mix of stores, pharmacies, gyms, restaurants and yes, a medical office within the confines of this center. It's convenient when you're exiting the 405 at Bellflower to run in for something you need. I appreciate its longevity and local flavor to Long Beach. It's a little sketchy once the sun goes down, however.

Is easy to enter from the street in your car but there are 2 exits that can be a bit tricky if you make a right cause it can be a bit hard at night to see due to the low street lighting.
